Gateron Jade Max: The RGB Champion
Picture the northern lights dancing under your fingertips – that's what the Jade Max brings to your setup. This switch absolutely dominates the RGB game, creating the most vivid and uniform lighting effects I've seen in a magnetic switch. While it might not top the charts in stem stability, its visual performance is simply unmatched.
Sound Profile: Sitting on the thockier end of our spectrum, it delivers a satisfying deep sound that many gamers prefer.
TTC KOM RGB: The Light Show Runner-Up
Coming in strong with TTC's premium spring technology (seriously, these springs are engineering masterpieces), the KOM RGB brings both style and substance. The elongated spring design makes the force curve shockingly smooth and even from top to bottom. Think of this switch as the sweet spot between gaming functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Sound Profile: One of our clackiest options, perfect for those who love that crisp, sharp feedback.
TTC Uranus: The Stable Performer
Floating somewhere in the middle of our lineup, the Uranus brings TTC's signature spring technology. With great stem stability and solid RGB performance, it's like the Swiss Army knife of our collection that gives you the most bang for your buck.
Sound Profile: Sitting comfortably in the middle ground between thocky and clacky, it's a versatile sound signature that won't polarize.
TTC KOM: The Reliable Baseline
Rounding out our TTC collection, the standard KOM showcases why TTC's spring technology is the talk of the town. Featuring the same premium 35g spring as its RGB sibling, it's a masterclass in consistency. This is my hands-down my favourite switch in terms of typing feel from the lineup, offering a smoothness that needs to be felt to be believed.
Sound Profile: A clackier switch that gives clear, decisive feedback with every keystroke.
Gateron Jade Gaming: The Reliability King
When it comes to stem stability, the Jade Gaming shares the crown with the KOM series. It's like having a precision instrument at your fingertips – every keypress feels consistent and reliable. While its RGB might not top the charts, the performance more than makes up for it.
Sound Profile: Leaning toward the clackier side, it delivers satisfying tactical feedback during intense gaming sessions.
Gateron Jade Pro: The Smooth Operator
Don't let its position in the RGB rankings fool you – the Jade Pro brings something special to the table. With decent stem stability and the thockiest sound profile in our lineup, it's perfect for those who prefer a deeper, more subdued typing experience. Even though I prefer a clacky sound in my mechanical boards, the Gateron Jade Pro is easily my favourite sound profile out of all the magnetic switch offerings.
Sound Profile: The thockiest of the bunch, offering a deep, satisfying sound that's music to the ears.
